Tous Le Jours Authentic Bakery

Bonjour darlings! Comment allez-vous?
If you have gotten tired of the sweet breads out there, try TLJ (Tous les Jours) breads. 

TLJ is a South Korean bakery-franchise owned by CJ Foodville, a business group of Cheil Jedang (CJ) Group.

While the store's theme is inspired by French artisan bakeries, some of the ingredients used are notably Korean.

From their TLJ website: Tous les Jours is a French-Asian bakery serving a unique selection of bakery goods and beverages made with the highest quality ingredients. It has established a reputable bakery café system in the United States, building on a brand image that is respected in Asian-American communities and is expanding into other mainstream markets. Right-out-of-the-oven freshness is essential for tasty bread, and Tous les Jours promises you'll be delighted by the baked goods we make right on the premises. Established in 1996, Tous les Jours is a leading chain in the food industry's premium café bakery segment. Tous les Jours developed an on-site production system for each store to provide customers with 100-percent freshly baked products, as well as delectable cakes made from the finest ingredients and the most sophisticated fermentation technology.

What I love?
I love the almost-bland taste of their Signature Pan. When I spread my cheese (Cheez Whiz), milky cheese (The Laughing Cow), quick-melt cheese (Eden) or creamy butter (Magnolia Gold), the buttery-ness, creaminess and cheesy-ness come out unadulterated and are not confused with the bread's own flavors. =) I love it that way 'cause I love my flavors being clear and distinct for full appreciation.

Even their chocolate cupcakes are not your typical sweet cakes. I like having them with my breakfast coffee for the same reason that it does not "contaminate" my coffee experience with unnecessary sweetness --- something like a French version of our Filipino's kape at pandesal.

Tous les Jours means "everyday" and I do not mind having this with my breakfast coffee everyday.
